Heh, I didn't even think of that, but you make a good point. Don't worry though, we will keep the access coming. I hate to say it, but it literally is... stay tuned for more exciting updates.
This is the news that many people have been waiting for and we do have more exciting updates coming. There is another team on the system now doing testing. We have a list of 22 people currently waiting.
Thanks, but I wouldn't call it generosity. We're helping AMD build a developer flywheel and that is very much to our benefit. The more developers using these chips, the more chips that are needed, the more we buy to rent out, the more our business grows.
Previously, this stuff was only available to HPC applications. We're trying to get these into the hands of more developers. Our view is that this is a great way to foster the ecosystem.
Our simple and competitive pricing reflects this as well.
